Our Expertise in Data Transformation for Insurance
The era of slow, siloed data is over. Today’s insurance landscape moves at the speed of insight – driven by InsurTech innovators and established giants using AI to rewrite the rules of risk, resilience and customer engagement.
The truth is, your policyholders, your brokers, and even your commercial partners now demand instant, hyper personalised service. They expect to manage their cover and claims anytime, anywhere. You need a data foundation that enables:
A True 360-degree Customer View
Enhanced Underwriting Accuracy
Improved Claims Processing Accuracy
This isn’t about simply building efficiencies anymore. It’s about making a brave strategic shift to transform your core business. Your underwriters need real-time, trusted risk profiles to maintain pricing accuracy. Your claims teams need immediate, unified access to a complete customer and policy history to eliminate processing errors and keep regulatory compliance tight.
Simpson Associates is ready to partner with you to make that shift. We believe in moving past the “evolution” roadmap and collaboratively empowering your teams with the data foundation you need to deliver these outcomes and win the next era of insurance.
“What really stands out in the feedback we hear isn’t one thing – it’s how everything we deliver connects. Our insurance customers tell me they feel the difference: stronger data foundations, clear and secure governance, and the confidence to move faster with data and AI because our solutions take away the guesswork.
They also talk about the long-term value our solutions provide. With our flexible CaaS model, they can tap into expert support whenever they need it – building real capability, keeping momentum high, and growing the partnership as they grow.”

Challenges and Solutions in Insurance
Every insurer’s data foundation is unique. Your solution should be too.
The reality of UK insurance involves running complex operations on both core legacy systems and modern cloud solutions. Most insurance organisation we speak with are working with both and we can help you on your data transformation and AI consultancy journey.
Our firm needs to harness data and AI to provide our data consumers with clear and reliable insights. Will our team be able to access the data they need, to make situational decisions at the point of impact, and with confidence?
Absolutely. By leveraging technologies such as Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Denodo or IBM, you can instantly access and analyse 360-degree view of your customer data, policy history, and real-time claims data. empowering your teams through a powerful suite of tools for real-time analytics that ultimately enhance pricing accuracy and manage claims risk effectively.
There is a constant threat of cybercrime in our sector due to the volume of sensitive information we hold. Are your solutions advanced enough to evolve with these threats?
We understand the need for data security is important. We achieve maximum protection by ensuring that at Simpson Associates, we don’t just understand your data governance and data security challenges – we empower you to overcome them.

Our regulations are constantly changing due to the advancement of technology. Will your team be able to implement technology that can grow and adapt based on these regulations?
Yes. One of the core benefits of our hybrid data approach is flexibility. By creating a virtual data access layer, we enable your team to efficiently modify governance and access rules to meet new regulatory requirements (like the FCA’s expectations on fairness) with little disruption to the underlying systems. We work collaboratively as a trusted partner to ensure your data strategy is always audit-ready and compliant.
Why Fragmented Data is Your Biggest Risk
Start Unifying Your Data for a True 360-Degree Customer View.
Every department – from underwriting to claims to marketing – holds critical pieces of the customer puzzle. But when these pieces are locked away in separate systems (data silos), your business suffers from blind spots. You can’t truly understand risk, personalise engagement, or expedite a claim without a unified data foundation.
The symptoms of siloed data are clear:
Inaccurate Underwriting
Decisions based on incomplete or outdated risk profiles.
Slow, Error-Prone Claims
Teams spend hours searching for disparate systems, leading to compliance risk and poor customer experience.
Missed Cross-Sell/Up-Sell Opportunities
Marketing lacks a holistic view of the customer journey and needs.
